How much candy corn should you give groups for the candy corn structure?

Really, that is up to you. These STEM challenges are designed for students to try to create any way that they see the challenge can be accomplished. If you offer more candy corn, you will have some that will build like a corn cob, if you offer less, they will stack. For a variety of outcomes, I would suggest the more the better, but that’s completely up to you and your needs.
